| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .P |
| This will ask you a bunch of questions, and then write a package\.json for you\. |
| .P |
| It attempts to make reasonable guesses about what you want things to be set to, |
| and then writes a package\.json file with the options you've selected\. |
| .P |
| If you already have a package\.json file, it'll read that first, and default to |
| the options in there\. |
| .P |
| It is strictly additive, so it does not delete options from your package\.json |
| without a really good reason to do so\. |
| .P |
| If you invoke it with \fB\-f\fP, \fB\-\-force\fP, \fB\-y\fP, or \fB\-\-yes\fP, it will use only |
| defaults and not prompt you for any options\. |
